The CEO (Contract Marriage) 75. Friendly Advice
"You ain't going today?" My husband popped his head inside the room and once again I could see the big under-eye bags and disheveled condition of his. I sighed, not liking his appearance. It reminded me just how bad I was. I couldn't even make him happy and maybe he didn't believe in me enough to share his problem. Sitting up with a yawn I rubbed my eyes, last night I couldn't sleep because my mind was filled with different thoughts about Andrew, Adrian, and my friend who seemed to have a feeling for a guy for the first time, but he was being stupid. "No, I completed every work yesterday and had given everything to Emma who will pass it on to you today." He frowned before stepping into my room and lightly closing the door behind him. "Why, are you not feeling well?" He looked like he had lost some weight as his shirt wasn't as tightly hugging his body as it would always. He hasn't been eating anything other than water and it was worrying me now, but he wouldn't ever listen to me.

It is hard to do something that you don't want to but at the same time, you want to do it. My mind and heart were on different sides and they have torn me into two. Confused and frustrated, a mess. Not only not knowing what side to choose but preventing myself from choosing any bad thing that I might regret later. For me, it wasn't new. I had chosen the worst every single time for myself until.....Andrew came knocking on my door asking me to marry him and for that, he gave me money too. I heard people saying that wealth could make people powerful and they could buy anything....anyone. Put the right person on the wrong path but never did I think that I would be one of those who would give herself for money. I agreed to live with a stranger and then have a child with him as long as he was giving me money, but wasn't it the best thing I ever did in my life? A thing thought to be a mistake became my best decision, that one 'yes' changed my whole life upside down. Once a poor girl who

"Go and eat the food." He ordered as the female behind him rolled her eyes while saying a 'no' "I'm not taking anyone's order here." She said as the male shook his head with a smile and asked her to eat cause she needed some energy from food. "Simply say you want to talk to my sister alone." Alison walked out of the room with that as the male turned towards me. "Why were both there? You know it's not safe to be there alone and on top of it, you were drinking. Really? I never thought you to be this stupid!" He scolded as I fidgeted with the bracelet I was wearing. "I didn't know what I was doing. Everything was a mess in my head! I didn't know what was right or wrong at that time. I was a mess!" I suddenly burst out. Why was everything so hard for me? I couldn't seem to forget my parent's death, it was repeating again and again in front of my eyes and then the thought of what Andrew was hiding from me. What made him drift away from me? What was the thing on his mind that made him

"What do mean by these days? Why act like this after I have just come home?" I question the old lady who once used to have a bad expression whenever she would see me but now, it was anything but showing hatred toward me. Catherine had given me quite a shock with her drastic behavior change. From all-knowing with an arrogant expression, she now had a kind and sweet personality which sometimes would creep me out. What if she was acting to be good but hasn't changed a bit from inside? What if something big bad was going through her mind? But still, at this time when my husband had changed so much too, I didn't know what to do or from whom to talk. So I did what I thought was right, I asked her and talked to her without trying to find a way to run away from her. "Well, I think you don't know then. It's not new for me or whoever knows him for a long time cause every year near this date he becomes moody and last year he fired half of the employees. Tomorrow is his mother's 11th or.....may

Waking up I found myself unable to move, I was caged by my heavy husband who had his arms tightly locked around me and his legs were holding one of my legs between his. But what made my whole face as red as a tomato was his head that was on my stomach, and he kept trying to find a nice position so the sun rays wouldn't disturb his sleep. His hot breath was easily felt through my nightshirt. "What an awkward position I'm in," I muttered while trying not to wake Andrew but get out of his hold, which wasn't at all an easy task. After a lot of struggles, I was finally able to get to the bathroom where I did my morning routine, and then careful not to walk on the glass pieces, that were still laying on the floor, I ambled out of the room. ***** "Are you sure about that?" I nodded while fixing my hair back into a nice braid. "Yesterday I told you that I will not leave you alone in hard times, so I think it's time to prove it. I will be just accompanying you there and then you can have

Standing there while my back faced Catherine, who was standing with a shivering body and tears falling down her face, I waited for my husband to say something. For God's sake, why wasn't he saying anything!? First, he was shouting and spouting everything that came to his mind. Then why his mouth was shut now? "You fell from the stairs the night before I came, which cause you to go to the hospital, and our small baby, who wasn't even born, died. But did you ever think about how come you just rolled down the stairs? Well, I got the answer..." He chuckled which was filled with sadness. "That night Catherine was the one who pushed you and made it all look like just a fucking accident." Moving away from my husband I veered to look at the old lady who had an expression showing just how much guilty she was about what she did. "Y-You didn't, right? He just heard it wrong. Why would you go against the guy you have been looking after from childhood, he was like a son to you." I heard my sp

Knocking, I went in to see a funny scene ahead of me. Andrew was looking irritating but his friend, Noah, didn't seem at all affected by this. He was not at all aware of his surrounding. The guy was pouting and muttering angrily to himself while staring at his mobile phone as I walked near the table. "Did you send the message I asked you to do?" Nodding, I jerked my head towards the other male and raised a brow. I questioned him without saying anything, he shrugged, signing he didn't know anything nor did I think Noah was in the mood to tell it. "You don't want to eat anything?" I inquired the male, trying to make a conversation but it failed as he didn't appear interested in speaking. "No." Awkwardly, I was about to walk out of the room when my phone pinged loudly. Frowning I took it out while moving near the exit, the name Eva pooped up on my lock screen. What's with her suddenly messaging me? 'Hey, can we meet today? Our usual place. I have a surprise for ya.' With an okay, I

"Father must be crazy to come here. I told him not to! What if somehow Adrian got to know about him helping Andrew. Why would he put his life at risk to help him!? Right he was his son but still. See you and Andrew gotta do something, cause I'm sure the male who is my husband won't think twice before killing him." I couldn't understand some of the things that she said but one thing was as clear as a crystal, and that was the father was in trouble. "What? He is gonna murder, Michelle? Well, won't the police will prison him then? I think he won't do it afraid-" She chuckled as I furrowed my brows staring at her with a questioning look. "I'm sorry to break it to you but he ain't afraid of breaking laws or going against police. I'm sure he won't have kidnapped you if he was so scared for his position and title as a businessman. Gotta say you don't know much about him. Just know he can do anything when he can put a gun on his child's forehead, he might have even killed this small baby if

I unintentionally scowled while my mind went wild thinking about who this guy was, in a long black hoodie with his face covered and the baggy trousers were touching his black worn-out shoes. 'Is he a thief? Or is he a shabby-looking bodyguard of Andrew that's why the other two aren't paying much attention to him?' "What's with that face of yours? That man is no one you should pay attention to." Adrian said still not telling me who it was. Licking my lips I thought for a while, my eyes staring at the videos ahead of me before I signed. Maybe I should not think too much. Slumping back on the chair I stared around. Only three chairs were placed in this room, from which one was empty right now. The white walls were clean and empty... Just like my life, that was what came to my mind but I shook my head. I was happy now, but if this whole event didn't go well, then I didn't know what would happen. I roamed my eyes around to
The CEO (Contract Marriage) 99. Idea Into Action
"Are you all fine with this plan?" I asked nervously because now when it was the day to put that idea into action I was hesitating, what if this plan was not good enough? What if she was already preparing for this? What if she knew about our intention behind calling her here? Many and many questions arose in my mind as I sat to think about 'how this night will come to an end?' "Come on, be a little sure of yourself. Everything will be fine." Noah as always cheered me up as I nodded. Even when Andrew didn't like Adrian, he was part of our plan and so the four of us were discussing one last time how things should go. "But why do Alyssa have to go with that man." Even after all the videos and conclusion, that the other guy was not at fault my spouse still didn't seem to be okay with him. I would say the same about me cause the hatred I had for Adrian for so many years couldn't just go within some days. It would take time for me to be okay with him. "Because they both are needed for t

It looked unreal or something that was just said because for me it could never happen. Sometimes I wondered 'if that's true?' or 'could it occur in real life?' Because I did not believe in love or having someone you would want to spend your whole life with, without any thought of being bored with them; two people being together for their whole life was something I had lost my belief from. But then Andrew came, making me think all of my thoughts were wrong. He showed me how someone could love each other more than themselves when months ago they were just two strangers. He taught me that not everyone was the other's soul mate but every person did have a soulmate, he or she just hadn't found the right one that was why they were alone. When the right time would come the two people, who were right for each other, would meet. One of my old thoughts that changed now was that I thought no one could understand what other person was feeling, tone couldn't describe their emotion. But well
The CEO (Contract Marriage) 97. From Rough Draft To Full Made Plan
Blink, blink, blink. Rubbing my eyes I stared inside the Cafe, some people gave me a look as to why I was staring at the eatery like that but I ignored them. People do nothing other than make their wrong assumptions and think bad about others. Maybe my husband taught me one nice thing which was to not care about others' thoughts, they might never be able to understand you or your situation. "Wow, I can't believe I'm seeing this," I muttered but then a question formed in my mind. 'Won't that female will know about this? Someone might have already told her about my and Adrian's meet-up. And now these two.' But then there was one more thing, it didn't matter to her. All she wanted was to break down my husband and separate us. That wouldn't be happening but we could act like that. The bell on the door pinged as I entered inside and walked straight for ordering something first. After placing the order I turned back to see the two guys who I wanted to talk to were glancing at me. Ro
The CEO (Contract Marriage) 96. Hidden
Confusing, frustrating, with no end or any idea of where to go. This was all I could say about the situation I was in. Staying away from my husband while having no work to relax me, yeah relax because now that I think by checking files and documents given by Andrew I would always be able to let myself forget about other problems, made my mind full of thoughts about Bonnie, Adrian and what was the truth? The cherry on the top, I had to move around with my face hidden behind a mask or hoodie, why? Cause just some days ago my shoulders were grazed by a bullet and later that day some men tried to kidnap me but thankfully I was able to run away. Didn't know who was behind this or why all this was happening but one thing was clear, which was to not walk around while showing my face. It was better to be like this, hidden in baggy clothes. Ding! The door opened and I exit the elevator, looking straight ahead of me I was opting for the main gate of the hotel when I heard a voice calling
The CEO (Contract Marriage) 95. Not Innocent
The long hoodie, that reached my thighs, and the baggy trousers were something I was comfortable in. Walking out of the big building with my face covered and some curious glances following me, I sat in the cab. I was busy texting some people who were quite good at getting information that might be hidden and couldn't be ever found. Andrew had made me meet them when he wanted to get some information about one of his soon-to-business partners, whose name I didn't remember. This time I was asking for their help in getting to know about Bonnie. Wanted to get out of my problematic life for a while I came to a park where I felt at peace. The cool breeze and green trees were something that was helping my mind to relax. A sigh escaped my mouth as I closed my eyes, I couldn't sleep for the last two days knowing my husband would be worried about me. Today I switched on my mobile and had above fifty messages and one hundred and three missed calls all from one person, my spouse. "I'm so sorry,
The CEO (Contract Marriage) 94. Fake Story Or Truth
Alyssa Pov (A day before Andrew came back) "Can't you stop huh!? Is it necessary for you to create a problem every day?" Some might think I have lost my mind while others would say I never had one, but I did and everyone has different ways of using it. Right now I couldn't think of anything else but to be here and face that male. "Wow, what a day! Alyssa has come to me without me asking for it. How come I'm blessed with your face today?" Inhaling slowly before exhaling I tried to calm myself. How could he joke and laugh like this? Well, maybe he could cause he never cared about others' feelings. "I'm serious here, what do you get from threatening and joking about things that are precious to others. You got a problem with me, with Andrew, okay, we will face you but why!? Why drag my friend and Michelle in this! He is your father too, for God's sake! Can't you just let him out of this hatred web in which you and my husband are?" I frowned as the male stared at me without a word.
The CEO (Contract Marriage) 93. Scared Of Losing
Andrew pov I was happy, a big smile that was spread across my face wouldn't go away even when my cheeks were hurting because of smiling too much. But how couldn't I smile? I was gonna meet my wife, my love, without her one day felt like a month. She laughed yesterday when I was saying pick up lines here and there while talking to her but nothing I said was a joke. She did look hotter than any other day in her night suit. Stopping myself from skipping my way towards the plane, like a happy child who was on his way to the candy shop, I did a handshake from the guy who had helped me from yesterday till now before calmly walking ahead. Even when my inside was anything but calm. ***** Not going to the office for looking after some work that had to be done today, as work can wait, I went home. It was already evening the sky was a mixture of red and orange while the sun was nearly gone. A sigh left my lips as I kept my head on the seat of the car, I remembered how I wasn't even able to
The CEO (Contract Marriage) 92. Light
When black clouds had ruled the sky and the small light that was showing the way was being taken away, anyone would be afraid to let that light disappear. A sensible person would be afraid to be lost without the light and the darkness wasn't a good thing to be lost in. But here I was worried about my light and what would happen with it? My husband who had always been the one saving me was going to some other city because of a business meeting and I was hella worried about him, his safety. The conversation I last had with Adrian was making me shitting bricks. "Is it necessary for you to go?" I questioned as he made me sit with him on the couch. "You see it's an important work that had to be done. And even when I don't want to leave you here I can't take you with me because you have to look after some work here. The stepbrother of mine won't let go of a chance like this to create a problem for my company and me." I sighed understanding him while keeping my head on his shoulder as he
